Ok, here's the next chapter...it's much shorter because I want to see what you guys think should happen...so when you review let me know what you want to see happen...Thanks for all the reviews!
Inception isn't mine. End of story.
"Oh no." Dom and Eames whispered, staring at the scene in front of them.
Arthur and Brendan froze, turning to look at Ariadne. Her eyes were wide and she was holding her stomach. Crimson was seeping through her dress and she gasped.
"Arthur."
Arthur let go of the gun he was struggling for with Brendan and clutched her as she collapsed in his arms.
"Ari, Ari don't do this to me! Come on!" Arthur cried, pulling her against him and rocking her gently. She lifted her hand up and gently touched his face.
"Baby sis!" Brendan knelt down next to her, wanting to get as close as he could to her. Arthur glared at him and pulled her away from him.
"Get away from her! This is all your fault!" Arthur yelled. Brendan didn't flinch as Arthur snapped at him and made angry remarks to him. All he cared about was taking care of his little sister.
"My fault! This is your fault! If she weren't with a criminal like you, this wouldn't have happened." Brendan retorted.
"We were doing just fine until you guys decided to show up. Cobol is responsible for this. And if my wife and baby die, Cobol won't hear the end of it from me. I won't be the least of their concerns." Arthur threatened as he heard sirens in the background.
"Wife? Baby?" Brendan asked quietly. "Ari, I'm so sorry." He whispered to her.
Ariadne up weakly at Brendan. "Why did you leave me in the first place?" She managed to choke out.
"Save your energy Ari." Arthur told her, tracing her lips with his fingers. She shook her head slightly. Brendan just stared at her, not wanting to answer anything, especially with her in so weak a condition.
"I had no choice." He finally answered.
"You always have a choice. Isn't that what you used to tell me? But you left me Brendan…"Ariadne trailed off, starting to lose consciousness.
"Ari! Ariadne! Stay with me! Stay with me!" Arthur frantically began shouting. He kept some pressure on her stomach, hoping that she wasn't bleeding to death and that their baby survived.
"I'm sorry, Ari." Brendan replied before standing up. Eames and Dom grabbed him before he can go anywhere.
"Where do you think you're going buddy?" Dom asked angrily, his grip tightening.
"Yeah, you're under our supervision now. You're going to talk." Eames growled, glancing at Arthur and Ariadne on the floor. He swore he saw tears in Arthur's eyes, but decided to not say anything. The situation was too serious.
Brendan refused to talk, his eyes were trained on his bleeding sister. Eames shook him and Brendan snapped back into focus.
"You're going to tell us everything." Eames threatened.
Brendan just glared at him, but didn't attempt to escape. Dom took this as a sign of surrender and turned to Saito who's body guards were now surrounding the area.
"Get Ariadne into the ambulance." We're going to need to get her to a hospital as soon as possible." Saito told Arthur. Arthur nodded and carefully lifted her up. Ariadne whimpered, but didn't wake.
Arthur joined Ariadne in the ambulance. He held her hand as the men worked on keeping her breathing and stopping the bleeding. Arthur hoped that she would make this, and their baby would survive.
As he thought about Brendan his fist clenched and he had to control himself from turning and punching something.
Dom and Eames escorted Brendan into Saito's limo. Saito and his bodyguards followed close behind and people watched in fear as they left the restaurant.
"What is your job here?" Dom viciously asked, keeping a firm grasp on Brendan.
"That's for me to know!" Brendan sneered.
"Well now that Ariadne's hurt it's our business too." Eames snapped.
Brendan slumped in defeat. "I'll tell you everything once we're somewhere safe." He whispered.
Dom nodded and turned to look at Eames. His eyes were worried and Dom frowned. Both Ariadne and her baby were in extreme danger now, and they wouldn't find out if they survived until Arthur called.
They arrived at the hotel and Dom yanked Brendan out of the car, Brendan stumbled but quickly caught his balance. Eames walked closely behind Brendan, attempting to intimidate him.
Dom didn't want to bring Brendan into his room, or anywhere near his children, so Eames quickly agreed they use his room as an interrogation room.
Eames shoved Brendan into a chair and pointed a gun at him.
"What's your job!" Eames growled.
Brendan just stared until Eames clicked off the safety on the gun.
"Alright, alright." He relented. "Cobol hired me five years ago, after my parents died. I left without telling anyone because this job was too great to decline and Ariadne would be in danger if she knew too much." Brendan began his tale.
Dom and Eames nodded for him to go on. Brendan sighed.
"I didn't do much at first, just background checks, undercover assignments, and observations. A few months ago they hired a few men to extract information on some Asian man. I don't remember his name at the moment, they were very hush-hush about it. They failed the mission, and there was a price on their heads. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about." Brendan turned to Dom, raising his eyebrows. Dom just stared at him blankly.
"Continue." Eames snarled.
"I was assigned to capture them, but one of them managed to escape me and my men in Mombasa. We've been keeping tabs on him since. And when we found out that he successfully performed inception, we wanted to hire him so he could teach us. Unfortunately my sister had to get caught up in all of this." Brendan finished the story.
"You've been following me the whole time?" Dom roared. He was fuming, just the thought of them spying on him and knowing where his children were made him angry.
"Yes. We've only been keeping tabs on you and Arthur. My men were stupid enough to not tell me about Ari right away, and now she's in the hospital because of you!"
"You're the one who shot her!" Eames shouted angrily.
"Arthur was holding the gun!" Brendan defended.
"I saw your finger on the trigger, despite what you think, you're the one who shot her. Have you no guilt? Ariadne could not only lose her baby, but also her life, all because of you." Eames said through gritted teeth.
Brendan glared at Eames, not wanting to admit anything. His little sister could be dying and here he was arguing with two men he was assigned to capture and later kill.
"I want to see her." Brendan finally said.
"No!" Eames turned around and sat on a chair directly across from him.
"He deserves to, Eames. She's his sister." Dom told him quietly.
"What? No! Arthur won't be happy about this!" Eames whispered loudly to Dom, not caring if Brendan heard or not.
"I know, I'll talk to him. If Ariadne survives this, let her make the decision." Dom replied gravely.
Eames knew Dom was right. They were family and she deserved to see him. But by all means, if Brendan did something to hurt her or upset her, he would rip him apart, slowly and painfully.
"Fine. Once Arthur fills us in, we'll take you to see her." Eames told Brendan rudely.
Brendan nodded once and frowned. The room fell silent as they all thought about Ariadne.
Arthur paced in the hallway. They wouldn't let him in the emergency room with Ariadne, no matter how much he begged, pleaded, and threatened them. Now all he could do was wait.
He hated having to wait. Not knowing if Ariadne was ok or if their baby was ok. He would be devastated if she didn't survive and he knew that if she survived and lost the baby she would be even more devastated.
He leaned against the wall, slid down it, rubbed his face, and held his head in his hands, letting out a deep sigh.
"Mr. Giordano." A nurse came out and got Arthur.
"How's my wife?" Arthur asked, getting past the fake politeness. He wanted to know if his family was alright.
So...cliffhanger again, but I wanted to end it here to see what you guys think should happen...Ariadne ok? The baby ok? Just Ariadne ok...leave your reviews and let me know so I can get started on the next chapter! Thanks for reading!
